Ted Chiang

Excited to share this classic episode from the archives with one of the great short storytellers of our time, Ted Chiang. This conversation happened in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio in Portland, Oregon. Blake Crouch speaking of Exhalation , the book we discuss today, says “Ted Chiang has no contemporary peers when it comes to the short story form. His name deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Carver, Poe, Borges, and Kafka. Every story is a universe. Every story is a diamond. You will inhale Exhalation in a single, stunned sitting, because true genius doesn’t come along nearly as often as advertised. This is the real thing.” For the bonus audio archive Ted contributed a reading of his essay “Silicon Valley Is Turning into its Own Worst Fear,” first published at Buzzfeed, an essay exploring the reasons why Silicon Valley might particularly fear superintelligent A.I. and how credible those fears really are. This joins contributions from everyone from N.K. Jemisin to Daniel Jose Older to Vajra Chandrasekera.

Na primeira semana de agosto, ganhei um presentão e nem foi de Dia dos Pais. Fui convidado pela Pina a passar 20 minutos com o escritor estadunidense Ted Chiang e perguntar sobre tecnologia, IA, arte e por que temos medo do futuro. No dia seguinte, Chiang falou para uma plateia de 80 pessoas na Casa Manioca e lá estava eu mais uma vez encontrando o cara que é dos meus maiores ídolos na literatura, parte de uma nova geração de escritores de sci-fi e fantasia que não contam apenas a história do homem branco genial que precisa vencer obstáculos para concretizar sua genialidade, que também tem nomes como N.K. Jemisin , Robin Sloan , R.F. Kuang , Nnedi Okorafor e muito mais gente legal. (Ou nem tão nova assim, Chiang nasceu em 1967.) A conversa foi o empurrão que faltava para voltar com o Boa Noite Internet neste segundo semestre, que você escuta agora em toda sua glória… em língua inglesa, porque Chiang não speak Brazilian . Nada tema! A seguir, você encontra a tradução da nossa conversa. Mas o podcast não traz só nossos 20 minutos de papo, mas outras conversas que tivemos sem microfone durante os dois dias de Chiangpalooza . Falamos de criatividade, tecnologia e o que nos faz humanos (spoiler: a arte). Nesta conversa, Chiang apresenta a visão da professora Anna Rogers sobre diferentes usos da IA para escrita, como “incômodo” ou como “pensamento” . This is a public episode.

Author Ted Chiang (EXHALATION, STORIES OF YOUR LIFE AND OTHERS) joins the show to reflect on having his work adapted by director Denis Villeneuve into the 2016 film "Arrival." In episode 324, Luke Elliott & James Bailey add to their "Creative Conversations" series where they discuss adaptations previously covered on Ink to Film with someone directly involved in their creation. Topics include the origins of the "Story of Your Life," why determinism is essential for the existence of free will, the narrative convenience of having a fate you can change, how screenwriter Eric Heisserer managed to adapt a story thought to be unfilmable, Ted's visit to the set, and who might be a good fit for a future Ted Chiang adaptation.

☸️🙃⚛️ Paul, Stephen and fiction writer Ted Chiang discuss the pros and cons of our fallible memories and the human technological interface. Is that fight with your partner about “who said what” an essential part of developing a human relationship, or is none of that even the point? Is adopting a pact of truth and reconciliation the path forward in relationships as it is in some countries’ politics? Ted discusses the question of self-identity; are we defined by our memories and shared experiences, and how is the “self” affected by changing technology? Does Chiang believe in an immaterial soul or are we only a collection of atoms? And why do many believe materialism implies nihilism when we can make meaning with our own guiding morals? All this and more on existentialist thought, karma, AI, and moral philosophy! What else could you want? Dig in Waggers! Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. Ted Chiang is a fiction writer whose works have won him four Hugo, four Nebula, and four Locus awards.

🦾🦾🦾 In this Chinwag , Paul and Stephen are thrilled to be subject to fascinating thought experiments by award-winning fiction writer Ted Chiang . Up for the discussion? The difference between fact and fiction when it comes to the existence of alien life, and whether Paul is indeed an assassin because he played one in an action film Ted once saw. Imaginations are running amok and people can’t differentiate between what’s real and what isn’t. Is social media to blame or was The National Enquirer the social media of yester-year? Online echo chambers and the dangerous speed of information may be a culprit for conspiracy theories. And is belief in aliens and monsters in pop culture a direct response to higher anxiety levels and an externalization of neuroses? Then, what is singularity and was it born with the invention of the wheel? Paul and Stephen are happy to learn that Ted’s not afraid that AI will take over, but the natural desire to do less work may lead to more romances between humans and AI robots. So buckle up and plug in your lady-cyborg and get ready for an all new fascinating Chinwag ! Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! ¿Creías que no te gustaba la ciencia ficción? El nuevo libro del autor que inspiró la película "La llegada", escogido por The New York Times como uno de los libros del año. En el relato Exhalación, Chiang toma el relevo de Stanislaw Lem con una historia sobre una inteligencia extraterrestre condicionada por su sesgo biológico a la hora de conocer la realidad, en un juego de espejos que somete a crítica la misma noción de inteligencia. No importa cuál sea el tema que trate Ted Chiang en sus narraciones, siempre demuestra una formidable habilidad para indagar en los enigmas de la condición humana y abordar los conflictos éticos que la relación con la tecnología plantea en nuestra existencia. Lejos del enfoque distópico hoy predominante en las narraciones futuristas, las historias de Chiang muestran una perspectiva abiertamente positiva y vitalista, delineando preguntas filosóficas de un enorme calado humano. Ted Chiang es uno de los nombres insoslayables de la ciencia ficción, género en el que desde hace años goza del más sólido prestigio, como atestigua la infinidad de premios que su obra ha recibido; reveladores, elegantes y sorprendentes, los relatos de Exhalación lo sitúan, sencillamente, entre los autores indiscutibles de la literatura estadounidense actual. La ciencia ficción está preparada para abordar cuestiones filosóficas: la naturaleza de la realidad, lo que significa ser humano o cómo sabemos lo que creemos que sabemos. Cuando los filósofos proponen experimentos de pensamiento como una manera de analizar ciertas cuestiones se asemeja a la ciencia ficción. Creo que la filosofía y la ciencia ficción encajan bien. ·Entrevista a Ted Chiang en BoingBoing (22/07/2020)· Libro en Amazon: https://amzn.to/3HMsV6C Traducción Rubén Martín Giráldez ¡¡Síguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/historiasparaserleidas (estamos preparando un sorteo) BIO Olga Paraíso: https://instabio.cc/Hleidas Súbete a nuestra nave y disfruta de contenido exclusivo solo para ti, pulsa el botón azul APOYAR y serás un tabernero galáctico desde 1,49€ al mes.
